The United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia will collaborate on hypersonic weapons.
The AUKUS leaders – UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, US President Joe Biden, and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison – said in a joint statement on Tuesday that they were pleased with the progress of the programme for conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines for Australia, and that the allies would cooperate in other areas as well.
"We... committed today to begin new trilateral cooperation on hypersonics and counter-hypersonics, as well as electronic warfare capabilities, as well as to expand information sharing and deepen defence innovation cooperation," they said.
"These initiatives will complement our ongoing efforts to strengthen cooperation on cyber capabilities, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and additional undersea capabilities."
